Psalm 101
A Pledge to Live
Righteously |
|
1 |
I will sing of mercy and judgment:
|
unto thee, O LORD, will I
sing. |
|
|
2 |
I will behave myself wisely in a perfect
way.
|
O when wilt thou come unto me? |
I will walk within my house with a perfect
heart. |
|
|
3 |
I will set no wicked thing before mine
eyes:
|
I hate the work of them that turn aside; |
it shall not cleave to
me. |
|
|
4 |
A froward heart shall depart from me:
|
I will not know a wicked person. |
|
|
5 |
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor,
him will I cut off:
|
him that hath a high look and a proud heart will not
I suffer.
|
|
|
6 |
Mine eyes shall be upon the
faithful of the land,
|
that they may dwell with me: |
he that walketh in a perfect way, |
he shall serve
me. |
|
|
7 |
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell
within my house:
|
he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my
sight. |
|
|
8 |
I will early destroy all the wicked of
the land;
|
that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of
the LORD. |
